 just an added thought

If remarriages have occurred children on census with Vandeulmeulebrook surnames may be step children born with a different surname

Mea culpa : the name of the rue du fresnoy may be Vanassebrouck , I have difficulties to read it clearly.

Great! We have got them.
Let's go for the details.

Stauin? the writter always places the point on the i, there is no point in this case . Why not Stauer?

I'll dig out the birth record later. Got some other things to do for now haha.

So it seems the family only moved to Roubaix in the mid-1840s and before that were in Renaix/Ronse.
And that the mother died less than 10 years after they arrived in France. It seems she may have also used the name Rosalie on the 1846 census.
I wonder what happened after her death. Did Jozef/Joseph remarry? Did he stay in Roubaix?

Here we go:
